About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At USPS Nora Branch, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. His dog, usually sleeping in the car, would suddenly jump up and start barking wildly for no apparent reason. The driver would shrug it off until one day, a little boy walking past the post office saw the same thing and asked his mom, ‘Why does that dog always bark at nothing?’ The mother smiled and explained, 'That's because the ghost of an old postal worker named Nora haunts our post office.' The boy looked puzzled but then burst out laughing when the delivery driver's dog started howling again. From that day on, whenever anyone asked why the dog behaved strangely, they’d just say, 'Oh, he’s probably hearing Mrs. Nora sing her favorite hymns!'

2. At USPS Nora Branch, on foggy mornings when everyone else is asleep, a mailbag mysteriously disappears from the loading dock. One foggy morning, a delivery driver noticed the empty bag and joked that maybe it was taken by a mischievous ghost named Mr. Mailman. Soon enough, everyone started leaving little notes in their mailboxes—‘Dear Mr. Mailman, please bring me my package!’ On quieter days, you can still hear whispers of someone humming ‘Deliver Us Our Letters’ around the loading dock.

3. At USPS Nora Branch, one day after school, a little girl named Emma saw something strange through the window. She watched as an envelope seemed to float off the counter and land gently in front of a surprised postal worker. Curious, Emma ran inside just as another letter soared through the air and landed on the desk of an embarrassed aunty postal worker. The whole place erupted into laughter when it turned out that a regular had accidentally placed a suction cup stamp on every envelope.

4. At USPS Nora Branch, an elderly gentleman regularly complained to anyone who would listen: ‘Why do they always deliver the mailbag upside down?’ One day, someone finally asked him why it mattered so much. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, “Because then I can’t see if there’s anything for me!’ Soon enough, everyone in town knew about Old Mr. Jones and his quirky habit. One morning, as usual, he was standing outside when the mail truck pulled up. The driver grinned and said, 'Good morning, sir! Today we're delivering your package… UPSIDE DOWN!' To which Mr. Jones laughed heartily and replied, 'Ah, perfect timing! Just what I needed today.'
